Development of the Forest Road Design Technique using LiDAR Data of the Funyu Experimental Forest(<Special Issue>Silvilaser)

Abstract

lhe forest road design process includes extensive field investigations and dynamic real-time dccision-making processes te create the best forest road design. These processes do require significant effort, and require the most experienced personnel to affect the best outcome.However, such "front end efforts" pay huge dividends in estimating construction 10m grid DEM was 10,637.6mS. Greund surfaces produced by LiDAR data represented actual ground surfaces accurately and the results of the forest road design using liDAI< data were similar to the actual iorest road. 'fiie goal ef the efforts demonstrated that using LiDAR enhanced the opportunities for planners to examine alternative designs to improve ease of design, cest of construction, andi maintainability Kaywords: LiDAR data, iorest road design, earthwork-volume, Funyu experimental forest, cost comparison.
